For months, America has been told by left-wing non-profits like the Alien Criminals Liberation Union (ACLU), La Raza and LULAC, that Alabama's new immigration law H.B. 56, "targets Hispanics" and is "anti-Latino". Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn wisely ignored that rhetoric when she let stand (pending trial) the law's most critical section - having police check immigration status of individuals apprehended in a lawful stop or arrest.

Well, the very first such arrest has now occurred since the Judge's ruling. And - surprise, he is not from Mexico, or any other Latino American nation. He is Mohamed Ali Muflahi, 24, from...Yemen!

That's right, the same lovely nation where we just killed a terror-linked cleric with a drone missile, and the home of the "most dangerous branch" of Al-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.

Muflahi was arrested for obstructing a government operation during a drug raid in Etowah County. He did not have documentation, and so his immigration status was checked - per the new law. It was determined he was in the U.S. illegally, and was "charged with violation of the immigration law."

We are waiting for the reaction of the usual (hysterical) suspects. But we can't say we are surprised. There has been a big uptick in illegal aliens who are "OTMs" (Other Than Mexicans), and thousands of people from terror-sponsoring nations have been apprehended at our borders in recent years, despite Janet Napolitano not wanting to discuss it.

And of course, 4 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 had overstayed expired student or tourist visas, yet had evaded discovery - despite stops for speeding - because laws like Alabama's were not in effect.

It’s time for Americans to stand up and demand that the feds do the job we are paying them to do and start enforcing our immigration laws. If they fail to do their jobs, we need to “reform” their asses in 2012.

(If you always tell the truth, you won't have to remember what you said.)

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free."

This guy was from Yemen. Maybe a terrorist, that is scary. TX has tuition only and the students must apply for citenship and pay their own tuition. This is a TX passed with a veto proof majority by the TX Legislature. Not amnesty.

“This guy was from Yemen. Maybe a terrorist, that is scary. TX has tuition only and the students must apply for citenship and pay their own tuition. This is a TX passed with a veto proof majority by the TX Legislature. Not amnesty.”

Two points on the above:

1) I don’t think anyone makes the illegals apply to be citizens (and I don’t think they can...yet).

2) The veto-proof majority was during Perry’s first days in office. He could have moved Houston 500 miles to the West if he wanted to back then. I have no doubt that if Perry opposed the DREAM ACT it would not have become law. And, if Perry actually opposed it, he would have vetoed. So saying it passed by a veto-proof majority is irrelevant, considering Perry’s actions.

It would be interesting to know the assumptions as many studies like this employ static analysis and would not consider the multiplier effect of these dollars staying in country and not getting shipped back to Mexico.

( The Prudential Governor... Have you bought your piece of the Rick)

So during the past four presidents and one vice president our open borders have been constantly penetrated by not only Mexicans but by people who look like Mexicans, Middle East Muslims! Remember what family has been in office six out of the past nine terms>? And what do you think the New World Order is going to be?

Dang, I got back to back stunings tonight. First Hank Jr. confirms he’s not a commie marxist , and that he opposes the marxist occupying the Whitehouse, then this.

Not all illegals are Latino? Stuned I tell ya, just plain stuned. I mean, who woulda thought all those reports of muslim prayer mats, found in the heaps of garbage at our southern border, were true? Not Ricardo Perry, nor Janet Naptime, for sure.

The scars on his head indicate a good likelihood that he has been involved in violence of some sort. It’s the sort of marker that is used in combat environs to identify the enemy. Deport him? Not yet, waterboard first, then deport.

I do not trust any politician on this illegal immigration issue regardless of what they say. They will say and do what it takes to get elected and then will dodge ever doing anything about it, such as enforcing our laws.

Illegal immigration is something that the big GOP money people want because it gives them growth, cheap labor, and it gives them leverage against unions. Liberal elite Dems want it because they think it will give them votes. It is an issue that the elites want, but most Americans vehemently oppose. If this was a left / right thing GWB with his GOP Congress would have fixed it in 2001 after illegals caused 9-11. But they didn’t.

I have no problem with the ultra rich except when they want me to cover the social costs of their nannies and gardeners and desire for cheap labor.

(Honest govt. that operates in the interest of US sovereignty and the people, not global $$$)

The US Border patrol has been finding muslim prayer rugs, korans, papers written in arabic and all kinds of other proof of muslim invaders coming over our southern border.
Border patrol is told to stand down. Media isn’t even curious. baraq goes to El Paso, Texas to mock Gov Perry about border security. Janat Incompantano tells us to quit worrying, the border is as secure as ever. Meanwhile, MUSLIM TERRORISTS are coming across our border and dc files suits against Arizona and forces gun dealers in the border states to report “rougue” purchases. And the feds are arming up the narco terrorist armies on the southern border.

Boys and girls, official dc is setting the table for a violent set of events to happen in our country.

HOW did this character reach the US? Through our northern border? Our southern border? Somali pirate ships? Stowaway on a container ship? Surely, he did not ‘fly’ in with all the body padding, prodding and scanning TSA does.

2) The veto-proof majority was during Perrys first days in office. He could have moved Houston 500 miles to the West if he wanted to back then. I have no doubt that if Perry opposed the DREAM ACT it would not have become law. And, if Perry actually opposed it, he would have vetoed. So saying it passed by a veto-proof majority is irrelevant, considering Perrys actions.

And even if you ignore what was happening in 2001 (which, btw, was when Perry spoke of open borders), Perry came back and strongly defended the legislation in 2007 when Republicans in the legislature were talking about repealing it, and again he defended it strongly in 2011 at the last debate. There is a point at which it's clear that Perry likes the legislation.

“The scars on his head indicate a good likelihood that he has been involved in violence of some sort. Its the sort of marker that is used in combat environs to identify the enemy. Deport him? Not yet, waterboard first, then deport.”

I don’t like Perry either, but I’ll be happy if he simply retires and becomes a lobbyist.
